What a coincidence, I got banned from world_news@lemmy.world for exactly the opposite reason.

It wasn't even something I brought up at all, I said something completely unrelated and someone started hounding me about it and demanding an answer, and I said that I hadn't seen sufficient evidence to conclude it was a genocide.

Then a mod posted some links, and I asked, "before I go through these, if I ctrl+F "Zenz" how many hits am I gonna get?" and that's when I got banned. I did go through them anyway, and the answer was 18.

I had also made a comment explaining how claims don't get to magically subvert the normal process of scrutiny just because they involve the word "genocide," and how, if anything, more extreme claims should be subject to greater scrutiny, not less. That comment was removed for "genocide denialism."

So, nowadays, I've learned my lesson, that as long as I'm on .world, all claims of genocide must be accepted unquestionably, regardless of evidence. You could tell me that France is genociding Belgians or that Morrocans are genociding Kansans, whatever, and I won't question or deny it. After all, basing your beliefs on evidence means that you're just blindly following, uh, whoever the claims happen to be about this time, which probably makes you an authoritarian tankie. You have to accept all negative claims about US geopolitical adversaries, without question, to be a free-thinking anti-authoritatian.

However, my ban wasn't for 30 days, it was permanent. "You can't handle the truth" indeed.

Really seeing (yet another) coordinated campaign against .ml. If all you can stomach is liberal slop, why don't you just go back to reddit, where you'll never have to encounter any politics to the left of your own?

your post is just whataboutism lol

enjoy crying about a temp ban from a single comm

byeeee

.ml bans are a badge of honor. Welcome.

lemmy.ml is filled with people who sort the instance by new comments and hit the F5 button nonstop. It's why there is such quick and violent hate the moment you do not pay attention to where you are in All and make a random, unimportant comment.

when I first got on lemmy, I went to .ml since that is where the devs were. I figured that it would be nice to be on the most updated instance. I didn't know what ML was. I lasted very little time before running away. It's shocking how insecure and angry people are there.

ml is a tumor on the federation

.ml is pretty explicit on their "about us" page that they have a specific political orientation and will censor dissenting opinions.

Now you have learned. Plenty of other instances that aren't as heavily censored.

Congrats! Mentioning China AND Palestine in one comment, oooh .ml must have been so upset.

Oh it's another one of these. For as long as you're on .ml, China, Russia and North Korea are incapable of doing any wrong.
